Urgent NIH Grant Review Meeting

The NIH Center for Scientific Review will hold a closed virtual meeting on December 18, 2025, from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to review and evaluate grant applications for NIA-011 (digital technologies to screen and monitor Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias). The meeting was delayed by a 43-day government shutdown and is taking place urgently so evaluations can be submitted to national advisory councils for timely funding recommendations.

Closed Meeting Protects Applicant Privacy

The meeting will be closed to the public under sections 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6) of Title 5, U.S.C., because grant applications may disclose confidential trade secrets, patentable material, or personal information. This closure is intended to prevent disclosure of sensitive commercial information and personal data about individuals associated with the applications.
